FOOD FESTIVAL 3

With Food Festival 3, we’re not targeting a specific age group. We’re creating a game that anyone can enjoy — even kids, but not only kids. It’s not a “children cooking game” or just a burger maker kids app. It’s a cozy, casual space where anyone can feel good.

At its core, it’s designed for adults who are tired of pressure, timers, and loud gameplay. Food Festival 3 offers a slow rhythm, minimal noise, soft kitchen game mechanics, and visually pleasing feedback. We want the experience to feel safe and satisfying — something you can return to after a long day.

No energy bars. No ads. No rush.
Just a relaxing burger cooking game with gentle time management flow — a digital comfort zone that feels closer to a cooking simulator than a competitive restaurant game.

We also built the game with families in mind. Not as a strict educational game or a classic kids cooking game, but as a shared space that might inspire real conversations and even food preparation at home. Our design encourages intuitive cooking for kids, while still being meaningful for grown-ups.

You’ll find elements of burger shop, cooking madness, cooking diary, even cooking mama — but without the noise.
Our goal? A calm, creative kitchen experience that works for kids, adults, and anyone in between.

If you’re into family games, cooking games for girls and boys, or just want something peaceful and beautiful to play offline — that’s what Food Festival 3 is for.

Big thanks to everyone who supported and commented on our last post 🙏
We wanted to share a bit more about where Food Festival 3 is going — and why it’s about more than just burgers.

Yes, we’re starting with burgers — but even in that category, there’s variety: veggie burgers, fish burgers, sushi-style burgers, and more. We’ve put real care into the recipes (even if they’re playful) — and balanced indulgent dishes with healthier, more diverse options.

But burgers are just the beginning.

Our long-term goal is to grow this into a scalable food universe, with every update unlocking a new culinary space: pizza stations, BBQ setups, ice cream trucks, salad bars, and global street food. Each food type will bring its own mechanics, ingredients, and style.

We’re not thinking in terms of "levels" or "expansions" — we’re thinking in terms of worldbuilding through food.
And we’re building the tech, pipelines, and art direction to make that possible — one dish at a time.

The plan is:
✅ Keep expanding the game with themed content updates
✅ Keep food diverse — both fun and balanced
✅ Keep the core experience clean, cozy, and built to last

Launch is on August 15. We’d love your thoughts, especially if you’re also building projects that evolve over time or love thinking about how to scale simple ideas into rich ecosystems.

We’re Building One That Respects Them.

We’re an indie team working on Food Festival 3 — a cozy, animated cooking game that doesn’t try to keep players addicted or anxious.

Most mobile games today are designed around pressure:
⏱ timers,
⚠️ fail states,
🎯 streaks,
🔁 dopamine loops.

They play with your attention, your urgency, your fear of missing out.
We don’t want to build that.

Instead, Food Festival 3 is a Playable Cartoon —
a fully animated, low-pressure game where you cook real food, explore food trucks, and enjoy the process.

✅ No timers or ads
✅ No “you failed” messages
✅ Just intuitive cooking, real recipes, and soft interaction
✅ Designed to be emotionally safe and mentally rewarding

We’re making something parents want to share with their kids — and that anyone can open after a long day without feeling drained.

At TATOMAMO, we’re building Food Festival 3 — a cozy, family-friendly mobile game where players cook colorful meals in a playful, ad-free environment.

From the start, we didn’t want to create just another casual cooking game.
We wanted to build a real cooking simulator — something that feels fun, but also grounded in actual food logic.

So we did something unusual for a mobile game studio:
👉 We brought a professional chef into the game design process.

💡 Why a Chef?
We noticed that most mobile food games felt... disconnected from actual food.

• Ingredients don’t behave like they do in real life.

• Everything’s super polished, but not grounded.

• And the gameplay often feels repetitive or frustrating for younger players.

Our chef had worked in high-end restaurants, and instead of just “consulting,” he became part of the design team. Together, we:

• Recreated real food behavior in Unity (from meat texture to sauce physics)

• Based every recipe on real-world logic

• Built stackable systems that mimic actual food prep (what slides, what melts, what holds structure)

• Made sure everything in the game could be cooked at home
  

  What It Changed for the Business

  💡 Better Differentiation
  “The only family cooking game with real recipes” is a strong positioning point in the crowded casual market.

  🧠 Increased Retention Signals
  Playtesters (especially parents) responded positively to the fact that gameplay translated into real-life cooking activities.

  📈 Content Strategy
  We’re planning to release actual recipe cards and simple tutorials, extending the game’s value beyond the screen.

  🎯 Sharable, Organic Hooks
  Players naturally talked about the food, not just the game — which made it easier to seed on social and forums.
  
  🛠️ Still Cooking…

  We’re getting ready for launch, and continuing to improve the feel of food.
  We’re also talking to creators to bring in even more real-world recipes and chef-led ideas.

  There’s a lot of love behind this game — from food, to code, to cozy moments.

We’re working on Food Festival 3, a cooking simulator that goes far beyond the usual “tap to fry” games. In our playable cartoon, kids and parents can actually try out real-life recipes while exploring colorful food trucks and dishes from around the world.

✅ Real cooking skills, simplified for families
✅ A fun, safe environment with no stress
✅ Playable cartoon style to keep kids engaged

Our mission is to turn screen time into quality time, helping families connect over food and culture — all while having fun.

We’re just kicking off and would love to connect with other founders, makers, and parents here. Feedback, ideas, partnerships — we’re all ears!
